Working toward a stress-free, violence-free society through yoga, meditation and more..

Founded in 1981 by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar,The Art of Living Foundation is a not-for-profit, educational and humanitarian NGO (Non-Governmental Organisation) engaged in community building and service initiatives. The organisation operates globally in 151 countries.

The organisation's programs are guided by Sri Sri’s philosophy of peace: “Unless we have a stress-free mind and a violence-free society, we cannot achieve world Peace.”

The Art of Living focuses on helping to create a greater sense of community by offering tools and knowledge to reduce stress and increase a sense of belonging. We do this through free introductory programs as well as more in depth workshops.
